Major Police arrest man after indecent changes exposure incident Monday morning to Old

Taylor Road approved

DM STAFF REPORT thedmnews@gmail.com

The University Police Department arrested a man Monday morning who allegedly exposed himself near the Ford Center. The arrest comes after similar crimes were committed on campus March 20. UPD Chief Calvin Sellers said the man arrested Monday is the same man who committed last week’s crimes. “We got a couple calls this morning, and we had an officer in the area,” Sellers said. “I’m happy we got this guy, and I hope everyone can feel safe.” Sellers said the man was initially charged and booked in the Lafayette County Detention Center for driving with a suspended license, and the indecent exposure charge was added later Monday. The man, whose name was not released to The Daily Mississippian before publication, bonded out Monday afternoon. Sellers also said the man arrested is not a student at Ole Miss.

Officials approved the construction renovation of Old Taylor Road last month after the Mississippi Department of Transportation awarded $6 million to Talbot Brothers Contracting Company. Talbot Brothers Contracting Company agreed to complete the construction renovations in 18 months. “There are many projects going on,” said Mitch Turner, District 2 engineer for MDOT. “The work you see them doing right now is taking place to expand and modify pipes, constructing a See ROAD, PAGE 5

ESPN Senior VP to share insight and innovation at marketing conference BY KATELYN MILLER kamille3@go.olemiss.edu

Rob King, senior vice president of SportsCenter and news for ESPN, will be giving the keynote speech at a marketing conference on campus Thursday. The conference, Expand Your Brand, will be hosted by the Meek School of Journalism and New Media in Farley Hall. The conference will focus on the idea of using social media and new media as marketing tools. King said he sees social media as a new expression of an old psychological mandate: to connect with other people. He said that social media helps people not only to connect with one another but to express themselves as well. “There’s an inherent emotional charge within every post, as every one, even a retweet, is intended

to represent a personal expression,” King said. He said that this trend in personal definition has created a mutual benefit system between news and consumers. “Marketing is more targeted to specific demographics,” King said. “News reports are delivered with less dispassion and more opinion. And everyone is moving faster to match the torrent of social media.” This increased focus on personalization and human connection reflects what King said is the real heart of journalism and communications -— storytelling. “Journalism not only informs us, it empowers us,” King said. “In that way, it is a precious form of storytelling.” King believes storytelling and a love of stories are integral to someone working with commusubSIPPI to

back. “I will try to make sure that it’s better to think of this as a journey, rather than a career,” King said. “A lot of folks these days get in a plane or a train or a car and never bother looking out the window to take in what’s moving around them. Folks in their late teens and early 20s should look out the window.” No stranger to the journey himself, King received his undergraduate degree in English, began working at a newspaper and, years down the road, worked his way up to senior vice president of a major sports news and entertainment network. His professional path, he said, “went through a lot of twists and turns, but all have been connected by storytelling — identifying unforgettable characters and narratives and sharing them with

authority, intimacy and urgency. Sports, like all great stories, move and connect us.” King also recognizes that Ole Miss is, as a university, on a journey of its own to grow and improve. He termed it “fascinating,” saying that “Ole Miss is in the middle of an important American undertaking. That’s to be admired, as we’ll all learn here.” Ultimately, King said the greatest thing he hopes to accomplish with his participation in the conference is to stress that journalism people in general are important. He said he also wants to emphasize that the hard work that people put into their jobs is worth it. The Expand Your Brand conference will be held March 27 in Farley from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tickets for the conference are $150.

If you have paid attention to politics in America for more than five minutes, then you have likely read an article or opinion column or seen a news report or analysis on the income disparity between the “1 percent” and the rest of the nation. It does not take long at all to see a debate on this issue played out. From the left, you will hear the statistic that the top 1 percent owns 35.4 percent of the nation’s wealth. They will use this T H E D A I LY

number to call for more progressive tax structures. As President Obama puts it, we should “ask some of the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share.” The Occupy movement was born out of the belief that the “99 percent” were being treated unfairly when compared to the 1 percent. Last week, Politico ran a story about the 1 percent gearing up to “strike back” against economic policies that might hurt them. These are talking points that crop up over and over, with seemingly little change from one year to the next. Why is it that so much rhetoric is thrown about regarding the unfairness of the 1 percent, yet little ever really changes? A report by the University of California at Santa Cruz, the

same report from which the 35.4 percent number comes, found that the greedy 1 percent paid 35 percent of all taxes, compared to only 31.74 percent from the bottom 90 percent. The numbers for the 1 percent are equal: 35 percent of wealth and 35 percent of taxes. Yet the left continues to claim that they do not pay their fair share. When the numbers are broken down to the top 20 percent, rather than the 1 percent, the numbers actually do become unequal. The top 20 percent owns 59.1 percent of the nation’s wealth, yet it pays 64.3 percent of the taxes. Interestingly, Obama does not mention the fact that the bottom 20 percent owns 3.5 percent of the nation’s wealth while only

contributing 1.9 percent of all taxes. What do these numbers mean? For starters, it means that Obama does not understand what fair share means, though I have already addressed that issue before in this spot. These numbers also tell us that the current tax structure is fairly set up for the top earners, but gets progressively less fair as it goes down, though not in the direction the left will have you believe. Instead of focusing on rhetoric and party mantra while masking the reality of the situation, perhaps we should focus on policies that will bring the bottom up, rather than pulling the top down.

Is it time to re-evaluate the U.S. relationship with Egypt? BY ORION WILCOX opwilcox@gmail.com

Is it time to re-evaluate the United States’ relationship with Egypt? Egypt, the Arab world’s most populous country, was back in the news yesterday after a criminal court sentenced 529 people to death in connection with the death of a police officer. The case is disturbing to rights activists on multiple levels. The entire proceeding only lasted two sessions. Furthermore, the verdict brings the concept of “guilty by association” to an entirely new level, with more than 300 of the acMake the DM part of your morning ritual

cused being sentences in absentia. Many in the media have pointed out that the sentencing further displays how politicized the Egyptian judicial system has become since the ouster of former President Mohammed Morsi last June. The situation in Egypt is vastly important for American interests in the region. Aside from being the most populous country in the Middle East and one of the largest countries in Africa, Egypt shares borders with two U.S. allies, Israel and Jordan. For those not following the situation in depth, here is a quick recap: In 2011, the so-called “Arab Spring” reached Egypt, and millions of Egyptians flooded Tahrir Square in central Cairo calling for President Hosni Mubarak to relinquish power. Mubarak did not last more than a month, and when the dust settled, Egyptians

claimed that they had finally won their democracy and U.S. President Barack Obama called the Egyptian people “the greatest in the world.” In 2012, Mohammed Morsi, running as a candidate for the Muslim Brotherhood, was elected president in a tight election. Morsi, however, would not complete more than a year in office. After a year of bumbling speeches and claims of his seizing “dictatorial powers,” Morsi was himself kicked out of office. Egyptians and political analysts argue over exactly what to call the ouster of President Morsi. Those who protested against the Muslim Brotherhood claim that the June protests were a legitimate revolution and that the military, which actually deposed Morsi, was simply acting out the will of the people. Supporters of Morsi, and

many others, argue that the event was nothing more than a military coup. For the United States, wording is key. According to U.S. law, foreign aid, which is currently provided to Egypt to the tune of over a billion dollars a year, cannot be supplied to a country in which the military has intervened in civilian affairs. Finding itself in a tight spot, the White House announced that aid to Egypt would be cut off indefinitely. As it turns out, “indefinitely” is not a very long time. In December of 2013, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee overturned the U.S. legislation blocking aid to Egypt, and the pump of U.S. aid to Egypt was turned back on. This brings us to our current situation. The U.S. government is providing Egypt with over $1.5 billion in aid per year. The Egyp-

tian government, currently under the guidance of interim President Adly Mansour, has recently furthered crackdowns on student protesters, journalists and rival political groups. In addition, a constitution recently released by a special committee had a number of ambiguities regarding media censorship, civilian oversight of the military and the right to protest. Some analysts argue that the current situation in Egypt is exactly what the United States has wanted all along. Morsi had gotten uncomfortably close to Iran in the eyes of many U.S. allies from Tel Aviv to Riyadh. The current government may not be pretty, but it may serve U.S. regional interests quite nicely.

subSIPPI to premiere in Oxford this weekend abking1@go.olemiss.edu

Grab a ticket, slip on your dancing shoes and raise a glass to Mississippi at the Lyric’s screening of “subSIPPI” this Saturday. The Oxford premiere of the documentary begins at 6:30 p.m. and includes live music by The Blues Doctors, Pale East and the Homemade Jamz Blues Band. “SubSIPPI,” which received an honorable mention at the 36th annual Big Muddy Film Festival, features some of Mississippi’s subcultures that fall loosely under four categories: art, religion, agriculture and lifestyle. The documentary is heavily dependent on the moving image rather than dialogue, which is what makes it unique, according to Vincent

Chaney, director of “subSIPPI.” “It’s more heavily influenced by the moving image than the dialogue,” Chaney said. “I wanted the images to speak for themselves and evoke certain emotions independent from what I want to say about these people.” After its premiere in Jackson, Donna Ladd, editor of the Jackson Free Press, praised “subSIPPI” in an October editor’s note, especially its use of what she called “European pacing.” “… It wasn’t constant talk or action,” Ladd wrote. “They told much of the story through powerful images from around Mississippi — from farm workers to artists on the Coast to young people playing in front of abandoned houses in Jackson.” Chaney said the focus on the

moving image and its emphasis on Mississippi subcultures drive the film’s philosophy. “The philosophy behind the project is unifying subcultures and making your neighbor your friend,” Chaney said. “There are a lot of people who have been inspired by ‘subSIPPI’ and have sought out people that were in the film or have taken initiative.” For the Mississippian, Chaney said he hopes that “subSIPPI” will cause this type of communal response among natives and that it will be a readily available, factual resource about Mississippi. “SubSIPPI is a way for (Mississippians) to be able to very concretely see what’s going on and how they can plug in,” Chaney said. “If we really want to take pride in where we come from, we need to know our neighbors. We need to know what’s going on around us. It’s not a film that says, ‘Let’s carry on the tradition.’ It is a film that says, ‘This is where we are, up to date.’” The pride that “subSIPPI” encourages among Mississippians combined with its honest account of the state today is why Ladd called it “a hopeful story, but not a hopelessly naive one.” “We are not either/or,” she wrote. “We have not recovered from our past, but we are not stuck there, either. We are changing. We are a work-in-progress, and we must use every tool, every history lesson to help us complete

this journey.” Chaney said he also loves Mississippi because of the progress the state has made without forfeiting its culture. “What I love about Mississippi is our story,” he said. “The progress we’ve made without sterilizing and losing the culture that was here is unique to Mississippi. Even though Mississippi doesn’t have much, it still has the roots — for better or for worse. My favorite thing is seeing the energy that’s here right now given its story — given its very suppressed recent history in action between race and economic factors.” Oxonians have the opportunity this weekend to celebrate Mississippi’s story and progress while experiencing the unity that “sub-

SIPPI” creates. “It’s not just a movie,” Chaney said. “This is something that everyone should be on fire for because (unity) is happening even at the screening. What you witness in the film is the unification of people, and what’s going on at the screening is the unification of people.” Chaney said to expect a good time. “We’ll have DJs, photo booths and bands,” he said. “We really try to get people to get dolled up, have a good time and really get behind the idea of what ‘subSIPPI’ is.” Tickets for the Oxford premiere are available now at the Lyric’s website and are $10 in advance and $15 on Saturday.

Tom Corbin at the UM Museum of Art BY CHANDLER CLARKSON cbclarks@go.olemiss.edu

Whether he is sculpting for an action movie or painting the family poodle, Roxy, Tom Corbin’s artistic talents cover a broad spectrum. His exhibit, “The Figure: Portrait and Symbol, Paintings and Bronze,” opened at The University of Mississippi Museum March 18. The exhibit includes bronze sculptures and paintings. The opening reception at the museum will be held tonight from 6-8 p.m. as part of the Oxford Arts Crawl. Hors d’oeuvres will be served. Corbin will give an artist lecture March 27 from 7-9 p.m. “Corbin will be speaking

about his career as a selftaught artist and will be in the gallery to answer questions and discuss his work,” said Marti Funke, collections manager of The University of Mississippi Museum and Historic Houses. Through friends at the museum and his daughter, junior journalism major Ali Corbin, Corbin chose The University of Mississippi as his second museum to showcase his work. Some universities, such as Florida State University and Pittsburg State University, house his sculptures long-term. “It is like having a little piece of home here,” Ali Corbin said of having her father’s work shown at the museum. “I’m really proud that my friends are

able to see the side of him that I have seen all of my life, to see how talented and fortunate we are to have this great talent for art.” Knowing his audience and the university, Corbin has worked to collect the right pieces to bring to Oxford. Some paintings include his daughter, while other sculptures are of his female muse, sculpted in different environments. “We’ve narrowed down the focus,” Corbin said about coming to the museum. When asked about his favorite piece he is bringing to Ole Miss, Corbin chose a painting. “It would be Ali and three of her friends from high school her senior year, and we were taking spring break in the Cayman Islands; that’s my favorite one in the show,” he said. The website www.corbinbronze.com showcases all of Corbin’s work, which includes paintings, sculptures, furniture pieces and lamps.

The original bridge will stand, but it will be expanded to four lanes rather than two. The bridge plans also include adding a protected pedestrian and bike path that will run across the entire bridge. In addition, new on-off ramps will be added for access to Highway 6. Old Taylor Road resident Justin Boyd believes that the Old Taylor construction is beneficial. “I think it’s great that they are expanding to account for a high traffic area, especially with the construction of the new hospi-

CORBIN, continued from page 4 the late Frank Sinatra and Jack Nicholson include some of his artwork. Corbin’s pieces have also been featured in movies such as “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” and “Cruel Intentions” and in television shows such as “Law & Order: SVU.” Corbin compares the feeling of seeing his pieces onscreen to seeing one’s child at a dance recital. When his first piece was on the movie screen, Corbin took all of his team to opening night. “It’s just really sweet,” he said. “When you see a piece come up, you know your relationship to the piece, you knew your hands were on it and you know all about the piece.” Corbin began Corbin Bronze in Kansas City, Mo., in 1986 after working for an advertising agency. He took classes from a woman he met through the advertising agency and taught himself the rest. After he got the hang of things, he ventured out on his own and decided to make a living from his artwork. “Being self-taught, I had a totally different road,” Corbin said, “rather than having a real academic-driven background

tal,” Boyd said. “It’s good to see they are keeping bikers and pedestrians in mind as well.” Roundabouts at the north and south ends of Old Taylor Road are also expected to be parts of the new construction. The roundabouts will include two dual-lane paths that will be larger than the pre-existing roundabout at the edge of campus, according to Turner. According to Jason Scott, the public information officer in MDOT’s Public Affairs Division, the construction is proceeding as planned. “Everything is on schedule,” Scott said. “We are hoping for early November for final completion.” In order to build a detour around the construction on Old Taylor, a road will be constructed through the old Whirlpool plant site. The university owns this land and has given

permission for construction on a detour to begin. The objective of the detour is to connect Old Taylor Road with Coliseum Drive, which will allow people who live on the south end of Old Taylor to enter campus when the bridge closes for construction after the spring semester. Scott said MDOT plans to work six days a week throughout the summer months, pending night and weekend construction approval from the Board of Aldermen. According to Turner, the bridge will be closed during the summer semester and will reopen shortly before the fall semester begins. MDOT also plans to eventually expand all of Old Taylor Road into four lanes while adding a new streetlight system in an attempt to reduce traffic and the number of accidents.

in education.” His inspiration comes from “a variety of different areas.” Whether it is the human condition or his female muse, his sculptures express life beautifully. Corbin’s pieces will remain at The University of Mississippi Museum

from March 18 — Aug. 9, 2014. Admission is free. For more information, contact The University of Mississippi Museum. Corbin will be at both the opening night and the artist lecture on March 25 and March 27. The museum is located on University Ave. and 4th St., Oxford, Mississippi.

Nik Scholtz hits the ball during a tennis match in Oxford Sunday.

NETTERS,

continued from page 8

for more consistency in future matches following the loss Sunday. Nik Scholtz continued his success with wins against his opponents from Arkansas and LSU. He is currently undefeated in SEC play with a 4-0 record, and his ranking is expected to improve from 44 when the new ITA rankings are released later today. William Kallberg’s health proves to be a major question heading into the match today. He suffered an ankle injury in his singles match against Arkansas, and it forced him to retire. He did not play his

doubles match against LSU but did play his singles match, which he lost. Chadwick said Kallberg would sit out all three matches today in order to rest and get healthy for the home match Sunday against No. 22 Mississippi State. The Rebel Netters will look to improve upon their doubles performance in today’s matchup. Ole Miss is on a four-match streak of losing the doubles point. Their most recent doubles victory came against Vanderbilt March 14. Ole Miss has lost 11 total doubles points this year. They have played 14 matches. First match is set for 10 a.m. today.

The Ole Miss softball team (19-14) will travel to Martin, Tenn., to take on the Skyhawks of UT-Martin today. The Skyhawks participated in the Red and Blue Classic hosted by the Lady Rebels in late February. Ole Miss won that matchup 3-2 on Feb. 23. The Lady Rebels are coming off a weekend home series against Arkansas in which they claimed the series by winning on Friday and Saturday before falling on Sunday 15-7. The Lady Rebel bats took a while to get warmed up in that game, according to head coach Windy Thees, but Thees also said the Arkansas players simply had her pitcher’s number. The Skyhawks (13-15-1) got swept by Eastern Kentucky in a two-game series in Richmond, Ky., this weekend. The Colonels won the first game 5-0 and the second game 12-4 in five innings in Ohio Valley Conference action. Earlier this season, Thees said her team would go as far as seniors RT Cantillo and Carly Hummel and junior Allison Brown would take them, and so far they have put up 2BDR/2.5BATH TOWNHOUSE Updated kitchen.

Diamond Rebels look to continue Rebel Netters winning streak ready BY HAWLEY MARTIN thedmsports@gmail.com

After posting a 4-0 record for week six of the season, the Ole Miss baseball team will travel to Pearl tonight to face Southern Miss at Trustmark Park in the annual neutral-site game between the two teams. The No. 9 Rebels (21-4) are coming off a weekend sweep of Missouri in the SEC home opener at Swayze Field after they defeated Arkansas State at home last Wednesday. The Golden Eagles (12-12) will travel to Pearl after taking the weekend conference series from University of Texas at San Antonio at Pete Taylor Park in Hattiesburg. After winning Friday and losing Saturday, Southern Miss clawed its way back from a 8-2 deficit to win 10-9 Sunday off a two-run, gamewinning home run in the bottom of the ninth from freshman Dylan Burdeaux. Senior left-hander Jeremy Massie will take the hill for Ole Miss to start tonight’s game. Massie has collected a 1-1 record

this season through four starts on five appearances. He has posted a 2.25 ERA through 20 innings pitched. He has struck out 13 while only walking seven, and his opponents are hitting at a .200 clip against him. Massie has given up just one extra-base hit this season. The Rebels’ pitching staff will enter the game leading the SEC in strikeouts with 233. Sophomore right-hander Cody Carroll will get the nod for Southern Miss. Carroll has posted a 1-0 record with a 1.00 ERA on two appearances through 9 innings pitched. He has struck out eight, and his opponents are hitting .182 against him. Offensively, the Rebels will enter the game ranked second in batting average in the SEC at .309 and second in home runs at 19. The Rebels will look to continue their hot streak at the plate. Senior Auston Bousfield leads the SEC in hits, senior Will Allen is tied for the lead in RBIs and junior Sikes Orvis ranks second in home runs with six, and

three of them came in the weekend series against Mizzou. After continued success, the Rebels have risen in the rankings, and most recently they top out at No. 9. Matt Durst leads the Southern Miss offense with a .312 batting

average, and he is tied for the team lead in home runs with three. Mason Robbins has also belted three home runs, and he leads the team in RBIs with 22. First pitch between the Rebels and the Golden Eagles is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

After a weekend split with a win against Arkansas and a loss to LSU, the Rebel Netters head to Jackson today to play three matches against Jackson State. The Rebels (5-9, 3-5) picked up their third SEC win Friday at home against Arkansas 4-2. The Rebels dropped the doubles point to start the match, but rallied back and won four singles matches en route to win. The Rebels did not have enough momentum to surpass LSU, which picked up its first Southeastern Conference win of the season by defeating the Rebels 4-1 on Sunday at the Palmer/Salloum Tennis Center at Ole Miss.
